Personally, I enjoyed the intro to Earth Democracy. The authors ideals and opinions are very interesting to me. To be honest I'm excited about reading this. Even though the author is very liberal, her ideals captivate me because truthfully, I'm uninformed. Her extremism on this subject suggests her deep passion for Earth Democracy. She emphasizes the fact that "Corporate globalization undermines and subverts national democratic process..." it creates this "economic dictatorship" that has encouraged the death of democracy in which "exclusion, hate, and fear have become the political means to mobilize votes and power." She also emphasizes the context of Earth democracy and how it's interrelated to living economies, living democracies, and living cultures.
